The nomination period for the TRU Board Committee has now concluded, resulting in a total of one contested seat this year.

Voting rules:
For a valid decision, we require the participation of 2/3 of eligible clubs. A candidate must secure over 50% of the votes to be proclaimed the victor. In the event of a tie, the resolution will be determined by the TRU President, in accordance with the stipulations in the TRU Bylaws.
For representative positions on the TRU Board, each Club is entitled to one vote and may only vote in the election for their highest division. For example, Dallas Quins Men may vote only in their highest division and not in multiple. In the case of a President or Vice President election, affiliated men’s and women’s Clubs are recognized as distinct entities and are granted independent voting privileges. For instance, both HARC Men and sHARCs Women each possess an autonomous vote.
Forum @ AGM
During the upcoming AGM on Saturday, a specific timeframe will be allocated for each candidate to address the TRU Membership present. TRU Members, Club Representatives, and Board Members are invited and encouraged to pose questions to the candidates, who are expected to provide succinct yet comprehensive responses. To ensure a structured and productive discussion, this segment will be overseen by current TRU Board members, facilitating an organized and efficient use of time.
Voting Collection & Confirmation:
After the TRU AGM, Wendy Young, TRU admin, will distribute a digital ballot to the Divisional Club Presidents currently listed on our TRU Contacts sheet. Drew Tomsak, Vice President, will provide support and verify the votes.
We are aware that many of you have recently elected new officers. This is a great chance to refresh and update your Club’s contacts with the TRU using our Team Contact Update form.
